Together with a consortium of six other European research institutes, the Centre for Development Policy and Research, SOAS has won a bid on an EC FP7 Project on ‘Europe and the World in 2025’ that will have funding of 2.7 million euro over three years. CDPR’s budget will be 543,000 euros. It has responsibility for organizing the active participation in the project of research centres in four major emerging economies: Brazil, China, India and South Africa.
The other six European consortium partners are located in Cambridge, Paris, Vienna, Rome and Warsaw.
